Quote: Shay Guy wrote:Ozzalos' stories are like porn. They exist to accomplish one thing. Once that once thing is accomplished, he looses interest and moves along.
Quote: Fanfiction Failure Metarule #2-- The phrase "...that's just another excuse to (plot device)." indicates you are dealing with a person of
below average insight as to how fiction is written. These people should not be allowed to influence your work in any way because everything is a means to
an end and is therefore "an excuse" to achieve that end. For example; "...(plot device) is just another excuse to lock Ranma as a
girl." This is an empty statement attempting to hide behind factual expertise; a bludgeon used by particular readers that don't get their way or
don't approve of your plot. It contains no value beyond personal opinion and should therefor be treated as such.
Does he actually believe that, or is he just trying to dodge critics?
That isn't to say that they can't be good. There can be good porn. But really, I'm not interested in porn. For the same reason I'm not
interested in Ozzalos' stories.
